Topic: Why did you pick your screen name?

That's a good question Deb!  I think it gives some insight into the person behind the name.  I picked mine because, well I am a very petite person, but after I was dx with BC I felt very, very "little."  Like a scared little kid.  And so..it all seemed to fit togehter.  Oh, and my first name starts with "g".

Love these threads.  Years ago, when I first starting surfing, I didn't want to be in the 'place' I was and chose 'wishiwerent' as my online.  It was really a 'wishiwerent' here, or in other words, in this town, job and so on.  Longer story, but later on, I lost the email when we changed companies and had to become wishiwere, which in essence was the same, as in wishiwere somewhere else!

I think it's started with me ...16 years ago at least?maybe much longer...

My real name is Joy and my dear Grandma's name was Rebecca. She's my angel. And so, JoyRebecca.

There was already a Kari so I tacked on my middle name.

I'm on several other sites too but this is the only one I use my real name and pic!

I put my name together years ago when I was setting up my first email account...

J is the initial to my first name, P=last name, Ann=middle name, 39=the age I was when I set up my account...put together ='s jpann39....so WA LA, there is how I got my screen name

Umm...It's on my birth certificate, lol! Wasn't feeling particularly creative the day I signed up...

These are great!  And, Madalyn, you have a very creative avatar!  

It's interesting to see who uses their real names and who doesn't.   I also started out with the intent of just being thebandteacher, but when I did my first few posts, and realized I was immediately part of the "family," I had no trouble signing off as Deb

Love and prayers, Deb

It's what my SO calls me.  When I first joined here on 03/17/07 I was Angel42 ... my nickname and age.  I dropped the number recently as I no longer liked seeing the 42, being the age when I was dx'd.  It was too depressing to me.

My name for this site isn't very imaginative either.  Cathy is my real first name and G is the first letter of my last name.  I never felt the need to hide my personal data here.  But, I do have other account names for other sites.

Yay, Tender!!!  I was hoping you'd be one of the sisters to respond!  

Hey Tender, I have a medical ?? to ask you regarding pain-if I have a weird pain in my left leg that hurts if I press on it, or I feel pain/discomfort in that tiny area when I walk, is that a blood clot?  I have to press on it or walk a certain way to feel that pain.   I have gotten all the tests lately to determine my issues re: pain and nothing has come up regarding my leg.  

Feel free to pm me that one so we don't deter from the nature of the thread!  

Love and prayers, Deb

Sige is an ancient goddess of silence...it has been my computer nick ever since I got a computer many, many years ago.

I thought it was appropriate as we all talk and talk and talk on here and all you hear is silence.

My real name is Peggy though, most know that :o)

There was a comic strip called Lil' Iodine, starring a red headed girl who was a female Dennis the Menace, always in trouble.

My dad always called me Iodine, even to the point that his friends had no idea that my real name was Dorothy Ray.

I've used it for a handle starting back in the CB radio days cause you don't find many Iodines.

I love this idea!!! This is awesome!

Wish I had a cool story. I don't though obviously. My screen name is my real name without a space in between. lol.  This is the first website I've been to for conversations. It never even accured to me to pick a screen name.

I love reading about y'alls though. Too fun. If I had it to do over again I would choose....... .......CBFan. (Cowboys fan!!) ; - )

Thanks for the fun thread.

Hugs, Traci

ps Maybe I should change it....???

Traci, it's too late, we know who you are and where you live .
